Documentation
You must respond promptly to any requests for information or documentation from
the U.S. Department of Education, even if they seem repetitive. These requests
will be sent to you while you are still in school as well as once you are out of
school. You will be asked regularly to confirm that you either still intend to
teach or that you are teaching as required. You must provide documentation to the
U.S. Department of Education at the end of each year of teaching.

If you temporarily cease enrollment in your program of study or if you encounter
situations that affect your ability to begin or continue teaching, you will need
to stay in touch with the U.S. Department of Education to avoid your grants being
converted to loans before you are able to complete your teaching obligation.

Student Eligibility Requirements
To receive a TEACH Grant you must:

Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), although you do not
have to demonstrate financial need.

Sign a TEACH Grant
Agreement to Serve
and respond to requests by the U.S. Department of Education confirming your continuing
intention to meet the teaching obligation.

IMPORTANT REMINDER
Failure to complete the teaching obligation, respond to requests for information,
or properly document your teaching service will cause the TEACH Grant to be permanently
converted to a loan with interest.

Once a grant is converted to a loan it can't be converted back to a grant!
